Sorry, I went to look up on myself, I was under the impression you required another IC in conjunction with this, alzheimer moment, Phillips just recommends using it with 87C751 mcu.
I suppose one can understand them promoting their own mcu as best to drive it with.
Anything should really do.
Thanks for the offer Mikebits. I'll go online and see if I can maybe get samples on-line or for that matter purchase is on-line.
Otherwise I'll let you know.
I bought my DAC08's yesterday as well. Funny story happened yesterday.
So I chose this supplier because they are close to where I'm picking up the laptop. They ended up not having stock, so I had to drive to the other supplier. Now the place where I wanted to buy it charged me R37.15 for the component. I thought to myself, that's not to bad, then I arrived at the other supplier, R10.
That's almost 1/4 the price.
I bought four, but either the one is really crap, or the first place is really ripping you off.
